Geocache Description:

Our first cache! How many times did you say OMG?

The Wizard, LeeLoo, Captain Cajun and Sandman were hunting caches above Central City near the cemeteries, which we highly recommend, and then headed over to Idaho Springs for some pizza.

On our way over on Virginia Canyon road, otherwise known as "Oh My God Road", and it lives up to it's name (drive carefully), we stopped at an incredible vista and decided to hide our cache as we soaked in the beautiful spring day and the amazing views.

Be careful climbing over the guard rail, and down the hill. The trek isn't too bad; after all this old Wizard made it!

The cache is inside a camouflaged 1 pound coffee can. The cache has a myriad of goodies. There's a tiger, elephant, spider, green army men, hair berets, marbles, pony tail holders. There's a log with a pen inside.

We had a great time hiding it, we hope you have a great time finding it!

Congrats to In-N-Out for the FTF!
